Polikarpov I-16 Type 10, Republican Air Force
An improved-upon version of my previous I-16
“ At the start of the Spanish Civil War in 1936, Republican forces pleaded for fighter aircraft. After receiving payment in gold, Joseph Stalin dispatched around 475[10] I-16 Type 5s and Type 6s. The first I-16s appeared in Spanish skies in November 1936.[11] The Polikarpov monoplanes had their baptism of fire on 13 November 1936, when twelve I-16s intercepted a Nationalist bombing raid on Madrid. ”

Now, I’ve added:
-More realistic wings
-Better control surfaces
-A 4999 hp. engine, allowing for shorter takeoffs and faster overall speeds
-Removal of cannons and addition of two machine guns for historical accuracy
-Better looking domino
-A cockpit with some lights and levers. They don’t do much; only tuning on or off with the gear or engine.
Operating The Aircraft:
Ag. 1 for engine ignition
Normal flight controls, including landing gear.
